‘Free Mind’ is a track off ‘For Broken Ears’, the Nigerian songstress’
debut seven-track extended play (EP) released on September 25, 2020.
Billboard stated that even though the song was released in 2020,
its “unflappable” production made it worthy of the list.
“The
production, courtesy of Tems and Omeiza, remains unflappable despite the
stressful themes, carrying her on a wave right up to the closing bridge, where
the beat drops out and she finally reaches calm waters,” Billboard wrote.

debuted at number 90 on Billboard Hot 100.
Burna Boy’s ‘Last
Last’, a single off his 2022 album ‘Love, Damini’, snagged number 32.
‘Last Last,’ which samples American singer Toni Braxton’s ‘He
Wasn’t Man Enough,’ had earlier been named the longest-running number-one
